Introduction<br />

Decision Tables<br />

Decision tables are used throughout the guidelines. The first and middle<br />

columns in each table represent conditions, and the last column represents the<br />

action to take after all conditions listed for that row are considered. Begin with<br />

the column headings and move left-to-right, and if the condition does not<br />

apply, then continue one row at a time until you find the condition that does<br />

apply.<br />

Footnotes<br />

Footnotes comment on or cite a reference to text and are referenced by number.<br />

The footnotes used in the guidelines include general text footnotes, figure<br />

footnotes, and table footnotes. General text footnotes are located at the bottom<br />

<strong>of</strong> the page.<br />

When space allows, figure and table footnotes are located directly below the<br />

associated figure or table. However, for multi-page tables or tables that cover<br />

the length <strong>of</strong> a page, footnote numbers and footnote text cannot be listed on the<br />

same page. If a table or figure continues beyond one page, the associated<br />

footnotes will appear on the page following the end <strong>of</strong> the figure or table.<br />

Heading Levels<br />

Within each chapter and section there can be four heading levels; each heading<br />

is green and is located within the middle and right side <strong>of</strong> the page. The firstlevel<br />

heading is indicated by a horizontal line across the page, and the heading<br />

follows directly below. The second-, third-, and fourth-level headings each<br />

have a font size smaller than the preceding heading level. The fourth-level<br />

heading runs in with the text that follows.<br />

Hypertext Links<br />

Figures, headings, and tables are cross-referenced in the body <strong>of</strong> the guidelines<br />

and are highlighted in boldface type. These appear in blue hypertext in the<br />

online guidelines.<br />

Italics<br />

The following items are italicized throughout the guidelines:<br />
